The mission the UNTHSC Research Office is to assist all components of the Health Science Center in identifying research opportunities, securing support, overseeing research and insuring research, funding policies and compliance.

Administrative Core

The administrative core manages day-to-day personnel and fiscal matters of the Texas Center for Health Disparities, promotes collaboration among cores and projects, facilitates translation of science into practice and engages community partners in activities that can lead to successful intervention strategies.

The administrative core coordinates meetings of the Program Executive Committee, External and Internal Advisory Boards, the Translational Research Advisory Board and Community Advisory Board.

A major objective is to identify the ongoing programs and projects that address issues relating to minority health at UNTHSC, surrounding community and the state of Texas. Once these resources are identified the goal is to facilitate communication between them so the programs and projects become interactive and synergize with one another.
